I know I'm going to have to try Green at some point, just so I know what everyone else is talking about. I hope I enjoy it as much as you did.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-48553525333958963182012-05-05T09:39:41.079-04:002012-05-05T09:39:41.079-04:00I'm probably going to break down and actually ...I'm probably going to break down and actually pick this up at work soon.

I gave it to my daughter, and I am not sure she read it yet, but I am sneaking it back. But then again, I might have to go for the audio, as I love a great narrator, and audios have seemed to be going faster than print reads for me lately. So glad you loved this one.

I am so glad you read it and loved it. I’m ...Yay!!! I am so glad you read it and loved it. I’m so glad you’re first experienced with Green was a good one. Because he and I are both Indy people I’ve had a chance to go hear him speak a couple times so I know a little of the background for the story’s inspiration. Before becoming a writer he worked as a chaplin in a children's hospital for awhile and that's where the idea started, but at first he kept trying to write it from an adult, male chaplin's POV and it didn't work. Later he met a girl who was dying of cancer. She was a teenager (she passed away before the book came out) and Green became friends with her. He said Hazel isn't her, but maybe a bit inspired by her. <br /><br />Oh, for your next Green I would recommend Paper Towns because it's set in Florida.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-91039628713983809822012-05-03T09:42:11.927-04:002012-05-03T09:42:11.927-04:00This book made me bawl so hard!
